ISSUES | A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH LASummer2017 | Page 5

Editor's Note Hello, readers! Thank you for picking up this zine! Or clicking on it, in this case. Lit Allsorts is a small-scale zine that was born out of the vague notion of putting together a teens' magazine with a literary focus. Contributors to Lit Allsorts are teens who love books, language, and the way words make pictures on a page, in one's head, or on one's tongue. Alongside creative writing, Lit Allsorts also hosts artwork and photography – a new addition from 2017. Issues | A Matter of Life and Death is the third edition of this zine. Last year's Spring Issue was distributed electronically FOC, while the Print Issue (a semi-summer, semi-autumn hinging on winter affair) came out in print. Money from sales went towards providing personal hygiene items for the homeless, which were distributed during a soup kitchen's party for street people. That project has officially closed, but copies of the print edition are still available for purchase – contact me with questions! I'd like to thank my friends – thank you, writers and visual artist – for putting in the effort to make this zine work. And thank you, supporters of Lit Allsorts, for circulating the zines, spreading the news, and greatly encouraging this venture. Enjoy!
